ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for sizing and distributing produce to a plurality of receiving trays. The system includes the employment of a single continuous belt to both feed the produce to a sizer and distribute the sized produce to a plurality of receiving trays. The distribution of the produce from the sizer is through guides which distribute to linearly disposed trays. Both the sizer and the continuous belt are driven from a single power source. The sizer includes a rotating horizontal disk having shoes located peripherally about the disk and spaced to allow selected sizes of produce to fall between the shoes and the disk. A device is provided for either individually or collectively adjusting the height of the shoes with respect to the horizontal disk.
